Anthropic just added a screenshot button directly inside Claude, letting users grab any part of their screen and instantly attach it to a prompt. It removes the clunky step of saving and uploading images when asking the model to debug code or parse charts.
Anthropic just rolled out prompt caching on the Anthropic API for Claude 3.5 Sonnet and other models. By storing frequently used context between calls, developers can slash input costs by up to 90% and cut latency by up to 85% on long prompts. It is a massive win for coding assistants, deep agent loops, and chatting with whole books.
Anthropic just made Claude officially available across Brazil, giving users and developers direct access via web, mobile apps, and the API. Paid Pro plans run R$ 110 per month with full Claude 3.5 Sonnet access. Why it matters: Anthropic is speeding up global expansion to meet surging regional demand for frontier models.
Anthropic just came under fire after its ClaudeBot crawler pounded repair site iFixit nearly a million times in 24 hours, ignoring terms of service that explicitly ban AI scraping. Anthropic defended itself by claiming its bot only listens to robots.txt files, which iFixit eventually used to stop the assault. Why it matters: It shows how toothless website policies are when AI giants insist on robots.txt as the only off switch.
Anthropic just released its official Claude app for Android, bringing its top-tier Claude 3.5 Sonnet model to Android devices for free and paid users alike. It supports real-time vision, translation, and advanced reasoning, while seamlessly syncing your chat history across web, iOS, and mobile.
Anthropic just updated Claude so users can publish and share their Artifacts, as well as remix creations made by others. The sidebar feature lets you render code, interactive diagrams, and mini-games right next to chat, turning AI generations into easily shareable mini-apps.
Anthropic just launched a program to fund third-party organizations building next-generation AI evaluation benchmarks. Current tests do a poor job capturing real-world usage, so the Claude creator is offering grants for evaluations targeting advanced risks like cyberattacks, nuclear weapons, and deception, connecting accepted teams directly with its red team and safety experts.
Anthropic just rolled out Projects for Claude.ai Pro and Team subscribers, giving each workspace a massive 200K context window to ground Claude in internal docs, code, and custom instructions. Team members can also share conversation snapshots in an activity feed. Basically, your team can now stop copy-pasting the same context into every single prompt.
Anthropic just hired Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger as its very first Chief Product Officer. Krieger will oversee product engineering, management, and design, tasked with taking Claude beyond the enterprise and deeper into the consumer market. With OpenAI and Google rolling out slicker interfaces by the day, Anthropic is bringing in a veteran builder to sharpen its product chops.
Anthropic just rolled out a prompt generator in the Anthropic Console to help developers create production-ready prompts. By simply describing what you want to achieve, Claude uses prompt engineering techniques like chain-of-thought reasoning to generate more effective and reliable prompts.
Anthropic just launched a new Claude Team plan alongside its first official iOS app. The team tier costs $30 per seat per month (with a 5-seat minimum), unlocking higher usage limits, full Claude 3 model access, and a 200K context window. The free mobile app brings seamless chat sync and direct photo analysis to your phone.
Amazon just completed its $4B commitment to Anthropic by injecting another $2.75B into the Claude maker. The deal requires Anthropic to rely on AWS and Amazon's custom chips, tightening the cloud giant's grip in the generative AI race against Microsoft and OpenAI.
Anthropic just updated its commercial terms to defend customers against copyright infringement claims, promising to cover settlements and judgments from authorized use. The company also introduced a beta Messages API that streamlines prompt construction and sets the stage for upcoming function calling.
Anthropic just launched Claude for Sheets, an official add-on that lets you run Claude directly inside spreadsheet cells using formulas like =CLAUDE(). It allows developers and data analysts to batch-process text, test prompts, and tweak model parameters directly in their rows, though you will need an Anthropic API key to plug it in.
Anthropic just released Claude 2.1, doubling its context window to an industry-leading 200,000 tokens—roughly 500 pages of text. The update halves hallucination rates compared to Claude 2.0, introduces system prompts, and adds beta tool use for API developers to connect external apps and data.
Anthropic just expanded web access to claude.ai, officially rolling out its flagship AI assistant to users across 95 countries for professional and everyday tasks. It’s a major leap forward from its initial US- and UK-only availability, giving millions more users direct access to Claude.
CCS Insight just forecasted a major reality check for generative AI in 2024 as runaway computing costs and regulatory hurdles replace peak hype. Running these massive models is becoming far too expensive for anyone outside Big Tech. Why it matters: The boom is hitting reality, bringing slower enterprise rollout, search watermarks, and the first deepfake arrests.
Anthropic just launched Claude Pro, a $20-per-month paid subscription for Claude 2. Subscribers get 5x more usage capacity, priority access during peak hours, and early feature rollouts, offering a direct alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus in the U.S. and U.K.
Anthropic just released Claude 2, featuring a 100K token context window that can digest hundreds of pages in a single prompt. The new model doubles safety performance while significantly improving coding and math benchmark scores. It is now live for users in the US and UK through a public web beta at claude.ai, with API pricing unchanged from Claude 1.3.
Anthropic just secured $450 million in Series C funding led by Spark Capital, backed by tech heavyweights Google, Salesforce, and Zoom. The raise boosts its total funding to $1.45 billion to fuel next-gen self-teaching algorithms and its constitutional AI safety tech. Why it matters: Big Tech is actively arming Anthropic as the premier counterweight to OpenAI.
